Messenger of Wrath

About This Movie

Messenger of Wrath, released in 2017, is one of those indie horror films that really knows how to create tension. The atmosphere is thick with dread, the kind that creeps under your skin and hangs there. The pacing is tight; there's this sense of urgency as the young protagonist, Three, navigates her terrifying predicament. The masked intruders are unsettling, but it’s the lurking menace outside that really ramps up the fear. Practical effects are used effectively, enhancing the raw realism. Performances are genuine, especially from the lead, capturing that blend of innocence and survival instinct. It’s distinct in how it combines home invasion tropes with a more sinister external threat, making for a gripping watch.
